On the PSP side, there's a demo for the new Resistance game as well as another older UMD title getting the downloadable treatment.

Some interesting items this week. I'm going for the RB demo. ADD was a big fan of the Mercury series. AM Mercury is worth that price if you like "puzzle" games. That game deserves a TTS. Spigot, you ever play the game?

Maybe it's been my recent foray into Killzone 2, but Riddick is not a great looking game.

I picked up Astro Tripper last night, and it seems pretty fun so far. It's from the same dev that did the Mutant Storm games on XBLA.
It has a strong Mutant Storm meets Defender vibe, which I am really liking.

I don't know too much about it, but I do believe the original (Xbox) game is included so perhaps that's what you're judging?

Well the demo is of the new game, so that's what I'm basing it off of. I will probably still get it just because I do love the first game so much though.

I've had this game on my PC for AGES! I bought it, in-store, for $4.99. It plays like a trippy version of the coin-op Midway classic Defender, and is not only fun, but balls-hard!

I want the sackboy in Hot Shots Golf but I don't want an unused $3 balance in my wallet.

Lol, me too, I'm a sucker for playing dress up. Wish they were cheaper though, seems a bit out of place at those prices.

[Dukefrukem]

is the store down for anyone else?

I kept getting errors, but you just had to push forward. I'm downloading the UTIII content right now. It's taking awhile, but that is par for the course with the PS3, and it probably doesn't help that it weighs in at 553MB.

But, yea, you definitely aren't the only person having trouble with the store.

[LarsenNET]

is the store down for anyone else?

Yes, I was just about to ask the same question. This is the first time I've ever run into this.
